Hamas official: Wave of flotillas to sail for Israel after World Cup

Israel should expect at least eight more Gaza-bound ships headed in its direction shortly after the World Cup tournament, senior Hamas official Mahmoud A-Zahar told British daily The Independent on Monday.

"After the Mondial [World Cup] at least eight ships will come from the Gulf," Zahar said.

The Hamas official also said that he expected "more ships than you expected" to set out for Gaza in August during the month of Ramadan, the Muslim month of fasting.

Zahar remarked on the possibility that Egypt could also stop the Gaza-bound flotillas and said that "they have the right in international law to go as the Israelis go. Egypt will never be able to stop such a campaign."
